I almost got to the point where I would skip any Elspeth Eric episode, but every now and then I am surprised and actually enjoy her work. Now I listen to the nine horrible episodes to get to that one gem she eventually produced.

Her writing is by far the best of any...

She is a fantastic writer. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode she has written for CBS Mystery Theatre

I'm with Brody. It's almost a shame that she occasionally is very clever, because her bad episodes are gratingly bad and it would be easier to just skip her with confidence. Sometimes she just *tells* you what she's doing, emptying her bag of whatever cheap paranormal activity, phenomenon, and abilities she recently read about and seeing what sticks in the story.

She wrote over a hundred CBSRMT episodes and appeared in over a dozen. Her stories are often recognizable by their emphasis in the psychological tension in the story. Almost a signature style that separated Mystery Theater from the previous generation of radio dramas. She also tended to write more stories than her fellow CBSRMT writers where a woman was the lead character.

Radio shows from the golden era of broadcasting are part of "Old Time Radio", or "otr." During the Golden Age of Radio, listeners gathered by their radio to enjoy their favorite radio programs. Radio Mystery Theater (1974-82) was a resurgence of the nostalgia of those radio days.

LISTEN TO RADIO MYSTERY THEATER

Those who experienced the old time radio will enjoy listening to these programs for nostalgia, but a new generation of listeners and fans are discovering CBSRMT for the first time and are finding they love Radio Mystery Theater Episodes and Old Time Radio! Pleasant dreams... hhmmmmmm?
